Breakfast club : I am not sure if u can call it comedy, but more of a drama, anyways i came to know about this movie from the DVD of Animal house which i believe is a 100% comedy. so for me this one too is comedy, and as the DVD says is a part of three movie triology(Breakfast Club, Wierd Science and Sixteen candles)

P.S: Any movie listed in the following posts wold be appended to this post after i watch and rate them .

I was wondering if we could start a series on each and every category of movies.

Next category from my side would be on Best War movies.

Saw Dr. Strangelove... either didn't understand it or was a lousy comedy.

The ones I like,

The Russians Are Coming
The Party
Any of the original Pink Panther movies (in fact, any Peter Seller movie)

more as I think of them...

I watched the movie "Russians are coming" but did not find it comic anywhere near Dr. Strangelove.

see it from the time perspective. it was released in 1964 ,just two years after the Cuban missile incident.
Cuban missile incident scared the $hit out of american people and releasing a movie that makes fun of nuclear standout is not easy and over that to make it a big hit is nearly impossible for anyone but the one and only stanley kurbick.

P.S: you can see the great acting of George C. Scott who after this movie went on to play the role of patton in the Movie patton and won the oscar for best acting.

Maybe that's it. I was not even aware of the Cuban missile incident till recently (that Kevin Costner movie... which I just saw the first 5 minutes before turning off). So, maybe will have to see it again to get it. The Russians Are Coming is on similar lines and the comedy is more obvious... the anguish of the villagers, the scared russians... it all gells together... and makes me watch it again and again (4-5 times till now).

Edit: more to the list,

See No Evil, Hear No Evil (or something like that)
